ScSKCC Apyak'F**-—As eoon aa an article ptfr-
porting to be of utility has been tealed, and its
Jnfrit* eodoraed by publio opinion, unprincipled
psrtiea endeavor to replenish tlieir depleted pnrvee
by counterfeiting and substituting a spurious for
Dm genuine articlo. Some time since, mercury, in
the disgr-iso of pills, powdors, etc., was given for
ill disease* of the stomach and liver, while quinine
iru freely administered for the chills. At length
Bos tetter's Stomach Bitters made its advent, and
i-. entire new system of healing was inaugurated.
The benfirial effects of this valuable preparation
v re at once acknowledged, and mineral poisons
j-ffered to sink into that obscurity to which an en-
, ■_.! jinsd ago has consigned them. There have been

thcaaands, who owe to it their restoration to health.
fat many years wo have watched the steady pro-
gnm ft Hostetler's Stomach Bitters in public os-
timation, and its benificont effects as a enra for all
complaint* arising from the stomach of a morbid
gitnr*, and we are free to aay that it can be relied
upon as a certain rolief and remedy. Its proprie
tors have made the above preparation, after years
of careful study and Bitting, and are now reaping
tbt reward claimed by this valuable specific, and
which they so richly merit. It is the only prepara
tion of the kind that is relitblo in all cases, and it,
therefore, demands the attention of the affletod.

THE PAIN KILLER
Hay Justly be styled tbo great medicine of the
world, for there u no region of the globe into
whiob it has not found its way,and beon largely used
and highly prized. Moreover, there is no climo to
which it baa not roved to bo well adapted for tho
core of a considerable variety of diseases; it is a
speedy and aafo remedy for barns, scalds, ents,
bmisos, wounds and various other Injuries, as well
as for dysentery, diarrhea and bowel complaints
generally, it is admirably snited for every race of
men on the face of the globe.
It is a vary significant fact, that notwithstanding
the long period of years that the
PAIN KIXiIiUB.
Haa been before the world, it haa never lost one
whit of He popularity, bnt, on the contrary, the
call for it baa steadily increased from its first dis-
covery, and at no previous timo has the demand for
it been so great, or the .quantity made been so
large, as it is to-day.
■ Another significant fact is, that nowhero has tbo
Tain Killer ever boon in higher repnte, or been
more generally need by families and individuals,
than it has been bore at homo, where it was first
discovered and introduced. That tho Fain Killer
will oontinne to be, what we have styled it,

Pctzell A Jacobs gave ua an imported cigar
last night which they retail at fifty cents a
piece. It was a glorious smoker, but we sighed
as we smoked at (he thought that we couldn't
afford the lnxnry.
Quite an Impeovimest.—We noticed work
men yesterday engaged m coloring and tuck
pointing the walls of E. J. Johnston's jewelry
store on the corner of Second and Mulberry
streets. It will vastly in improve the appearance
of the building.
The city was unusually quiet yesterday and
we heard of nothiDg in tho way of incidents or
accidents worth reporting. The streets are again
exceedingly dusty and on all sides we hear ex
pressed longings for rain. Tho weather yester
day was tho warmest we have had in two weeks.
Caned.—Our special old friend Mr. James
Graybill has been presented with a beautiful
gold headed walking cane, by bislate copartner
in bnsiuoss, Mr. J. A. Walker. The old gentle
man is qnite proud of it, and wo shall watch for
a little “swelling” with it on Sunday next.
New Banking Buiedino.—Wq learn that the
vacant lot immediately adjoining Johnston’s
jewelry store, is soon to be occupied by a hand,
some bnilding, to bo used by tho Central Rail
road and Backing Company. It will be another
ornament to Mulberry street.
Thanks.—The Walker Brothers, Cherryatreet,
have onr thanks for ono of their large and de
licious Augnsta watermelons, a supply of which
they receive once or twice a week, together with
a thousand and ono other good things to eat.
Go to the Walkers when yon would satiate yonr
thirst or hunger.
At it Aoain.—Somo of the boys about town
have again supplied themselves with rubber
slings, and are throwing shot through people’s
windows. If the Mayor will pnt each one of tho
little rascals in the guardhouse, that is caught
with ono, we will foot Finney’s board bill for
the same.
Bkown & Co. have jnst received: Saturday
Night, Leslie’s German, Datchland, Staats
Zoitnng, Appletons Journal, People, Pilot, Giti*
zon, Comic Monthly, Clipper, Varieties, Police
News, Sporting Times. All the monthlies for
August.
The Election Yestebday.—Wo never saw an
election for a connty officer pass off more quietly
than that of yesterday for tax collector. The
reason was that the field was left almost clear
for Mr. Frank M. Heath, and consequently
there was no canse for excitement and wran
gling. The following is the result for this pre
cinct :

The Coubt-house Bell.—Tho bell for tho
new Conrt-honso was received yesterday from
Savannah, over the Central Railroad. It was
made at the Menoely Bell Foundry, Troy, N. Y.,
and shipped to Savannah on the steamer Hunts
ville. It weighs 4,13S pounds. On ono aide, in
raised letters, are tho words: “OaBt for tho
Bibb County Court-house, 1871.” On the other
side is the following : “Chas. T. Ward, Ordi
nary; Joseph M. Boardman, Lewis N. Whittle,
Gabriel B. Roberts, Bnilding Committee; J.
Fuss, Superintendent."
It is the largest bell in the city and, by abont
1,200 pounds, the heaviest
Moving.—The attaches of tho Southern Ex
press office were busily engaged last evening,
in moving from their late quarters on Third
street to the building of J. S. Schofield, on
Fourth street, near the general passenger depot
There’s not a more clever and faithful corps of
business gentlemen in all the country than
those connected with tho Express office at this
point, and we don’t much like to see them mov
ing out of our immediate neighborhood. They
will be so near the railroad depot, that it is the
purpose of Superintendent Henderson, we un
derstand, to connect liis new office by rail with
this depot, so as to avoid loading and unloading
a wagon, for the purpose of hauling such a short
distance.
Our With It.—In yesterday’s issue was a
card from “Our Fitz,” reflecting upon the po
litical status, or opinions of certain “would-be-
Democrats” in connection with the race for Tax
Collector. The following ought to call “Fitz”
to his feet for explanation:
Jfr. Local: In this morning's issno of the
Tzlzgbaph is a cord from James Fitzpatrick
which, so far as I was connected with the re
cent race for Tax Collector, reflects unjustly
upon the Democratic candidates, of which I
was one. Fitzpatrick has promised to expose in
a few days “would-be Democrats, by giving the
names, day and dates, the amount of dollars
and cents paid and promised to be paid, and
npon what conditions,” etc. I ask him kindly
to do so, as I am very impatient to find out how
mnch he received, or was promised, and by
whom, that he should announce himself as a
candidate, and then withdraw on the day of tho
election, thereby being the direct cause of my
leaving the field. Will he out with it ?
Yours, W. T. Nelson.

The “Geeat Benetactob.—We received yes

How Tbey Hake a Kn-klox.
One Payne, of Estelle connty, Kentucky,
who turned State’s evidence, gives the follow
ing information :
I first signified my intention of joining the
band to Henry Adams, working in the same
drift with me, about the 17th of May. Henry
then took me to the middle of the drift, and in
the presence of John Pattrick, having me put
my left hand on my heart and hold up my right,
administered the following oath, to which I as
sented : ‘‘Yon do solemnly swear yon will not
reveal a sign or pass-word of this organization,
to which yon now attach yourself; also, you
will aid and assist any brother in any difficulty
in which he may become involved; and you
will support the Democratic party; and may
you suffer your body t-o be cut in four parts and
cast into four quarters of the earth before yon
will reveal a sign or password belonging to this
secret organization.”
I do not know tho oath by heart, but the
above is about it. There is also something
about negro in it. Adams also gave me
THE SIGNS AND PASSWORDS.
To recognize a brother at a distance wo raise
our hat with the right hand and pull the brim
down over the right eye. Tho answer is the
same with the left hand. Both then draw the
left hand across the mouth as if wiping it and
stroke the breast with tho right
THE GRIP
is mado by grasping hands in the usual manner
with the thumb pressing light between tbo
other thumb and forefinger, and giving one
stroke, saying, I am all right, how are you?
Ha answers, I am all right I reply, how may
I know yon are all right ? He answers, by word
or by letter. I ask which do yon prefer? He
may coll for either. If he asks for letter I tell
him to spell. Ho says: “S,” I say “L,” he
says “A,” I say “P,” he says “U,” I say “P,”
alt spelling out
“slap up,”
which is tho test word of the order. If I want
any further proof Isay “sick,” when he answers
“welL” If 1 still require further proof Isay
“Avigilia;” if he is all right he replies “eternal
ly.” A still further test would be for me to ask
“What is most like cedar ?” He would answer,
“A dead rebel.” I would ask “Why ?” He to
answer “Because it never dies.” If I get into
a difficulty and see I am overpowored, and de
sired to know if any brother was present I lock
my arms across my breast, as if cold, and say,
“I wish I knew if any St. Mary’s childern were
about” If any brother is about he will imme
diately come to my aid, and if my opponents
be members of the band they will immediately
desist and we become friends.
NIGHT BEOOGNinON.
When travelling at night, on meeting a per
son and desiring to know if ho is a brother, I
say, “Halt,” and give a loud slap with my hand
on my thigh. He answers with two slaps. When
it is desired by the captain to call a meeting, he
sends the marshal to notify each member. The
place of meeting is always some dense wood,
without fire or light of any kind. No man must
leave his homo for the place of meeting before
dark. When the meeting is assembled the roll
is called, and absentees sent for and compelled
to come under guard. No raid is ever made un
less every member of the band is along.

ting it to take place and promising it protec
tion. The State, says tho Times, ought to in
terfere with parades of both Orangemen and
Ribbonmen. It should not encourage antago
nism, and should bring all persons to recognize
its rule—dealing equally with the national feel
ing and prejudices of all.
MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Synopsis or Weather Statement.
WauDep’t, Office Citief Signal Officer, >
Washington, D. C., July 28, 7:40 p. m. )
No important chango has been reported from
tho Rocky Mountain and Pacifio stations. The
high pressure on Lake Superior has extended
southward to Kentucky, and eastward to Lake
Huron. The low pressure that was north of
Lake Ontario has gradually disappeared; that
which existed on the western gulf has probably
moved northward; that which was west of Illi
nois still continues. Northeasterly winds have
prevailed from Michigan to Lake Superior, and
to the Missouri River, but are now changing to
the southeast. The weather has remained with
out material change in tho South Atlantic States.
Rain has fallen on the immediate Gulf coast.
Threatening and cloudy weather has prevailed
during the day from New York to Tennessee,
and thence to Iowa.
Probabilities: Threatening and rainy weather
will probably extend to-night eastward to Michi
gan and Eastern Tennessee. The same is prob
able for Saturday in the interior of the South
ern and Gulf States, and pleasant weather for
New England.
